Wiretap: Spy Party Word Game

Wiretap is a multiplayer word-guessing party game for 4 to 12 players, inspired by the board game Decrypto. Two teams are each assigned four secret keywords. Every round, one player (the Encryptor) receives a secret 3-digit code pointing to three of their team's keywords and must write clues that help teammates crack the code without tipping off the opposition.

Your team decodes. The enemy intercepts. Get intercepted twice and you lose. Miscommunicate twice (your own team can't figure out your clues) and you also lose. If neither happens, the team with the most interceptions after six rounds wins. Every clue you write is a tightrope between clarity and secrecy.

Everyone plays on their own device. Host an Online lobby (beta) that friends can join from anywhere, or a Nearby game on the same Wi-Fi with no internet needed. Friends join with the room code, by tapping an invite link, or from the automatic nearby-games list. Short a player? Fill empty seats with bots: five spy personas across three ranks, from the scattergun Recruits to the ice-cold Spymaster. If a phone drops off, you can rejoin mid-game on the live round, and the game survives a host restart.

Wiretap is free to play, with ads that stay out of the action: banners on menus and occasional interstitials between games, never during a live round. A one-time Premium unlock removes all ads and opens up all 10 word decks (3 are free) and the Agent and Spymaster bots. Hands-on training teaches the game in three short lessons and a full practice game, and 25 spy commendations with Google Play Games and Game Center support, cloud save, and personal stats give you something to chase.
